Resolution Adopted by the CCAR

SUBVERSIVE GROUPS

Digests of resolutions adopted by the

Central Conference of American Rabbis

between 1889 and 1974

1. We condemn the practice of imputing guilt merely by association–the

tendency by

high government officials of branding individuals or organizations as

subversive

without clear definition of the term or without clearly specifying the bases

of disloyalty.

Guilt by association alone is a threat to democratic conditions. (1948, p.

163)

2. See Civil Liberties, Sec. 10 (1948); Sec. 12 (1950).

3. See Social Betterment. Sec. 3 (1951).
